How do you drain transmission fluid from hoses connected to radiator instead of underneath car?

Just disconnect the hoses from the radiator and direct them into a container capable of holding about 14 quarts. Start the engine and let it run until no more fluid comes out. Hook the hoses back up and fill the trans making sure not to overfil it. You don't get the filter changed this way which I think is important to do and the most of the time it is MESSY.

Can you change a automatic to manual transmission and about how much does it usually cost?
Not knowing the make or the model it is impossible to guess. Generally you would have to change the radiator, run the transmission lines and change out flywheel and possibly driveshaft. With older cars (early hydramatics, for example), you do not have to change the radiator and there ae no transmission lines, but in addition to changing the flywheel and driveshaft, you also have to add the linkage to the carburetor. You might need to change the ECM (computer) and you may be able to put in an oil cooler instead of changing the radiator. Another way to go would be to contact your local automotive junk yard and purchase a wrecked vehicle that is the same as yours except automatic. The vehicle would need to be damaged in a way that doesn't effect the parts you are interested in. You would then have everything needed to swap over including peddle assembly, steering column or console, linkages, wiring, switches, crossmember, flywheel, driveshaft, correct speedometer gears, cooling lines, radiator and so on.

On a 1993 Legacy AWD wagon where is the starter relay shown in the Chilton's diagrams?
If it is a automatic transmission there is no starter relay but, an ignition relay instead. If it is manual the starter relay is located under the hood at the fuse box on the left (drivers) side.
Is leaking oil a sign of a bad transmission?
Not using the dipsticks for the oil and transmission, while seeing leaks are a sign... Check your fuids and keep them clean and full or you will cause damage to whatever componenet relies on their respective fluids. Answer leaking oil is NOT sign of a bad transmission, its a sign of a bad/worn seal(s) or hose(s). more likely a sign of a worn seal or oil pan gasket. Actually it's a sign of money that will go out of you pocket, the more you can see, the more you have to pay. If you don't fix it, you may have to pay for the aggregates, eg transmission parts instead of paying for a small rubber seal.
Can you use water instead of transmission fluid in the radiator in an emergency?
You should never use transmission fluid in a radiator.You can use water without antifreeze in a radiator, but if the engine gets below 32 F (0 C) the water will freeze and severely damage the engine.
How do you remove the oil line from the radiator on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?
OIL LINE? there is no oil line connected to the radiator. There are transmission fluid lines attached to the radiator.... To disconnect these, get some PB Blaster spray, spray liberally around nuts attaching lines to radiator, wait 10 minutes. Get "FLARE NUT WRENCH" of proper size, and loosen and remove. Make sure you have something to catch fluid in underneath where you are working.Good Luck... November 2010 - please note: my 2001 GC Limited has an oil driven cooling fan, instead of traditional 12 volt motor driven fan. The power steering pump's "oil" pressure drives several systems including this fan. Indeed, this "oil" is not conneted to the radiator. I plan to unhook the fan system and tie it back "intact" so I can lift the radiator out today.
Can you put seal-it or jb-weld to fix a leak in the transmission line to the radiator?
I wouldn't. Replace or repair the line instead.
Where is the speedometer cable on a 1991 s10 transmission?
There is no speedometer cable on a 1991 s10. Instead it has a vehicle speed Senor or vss for short. The vss is near the tail end of the transmission and has a green and violet set of wires that connect it to the drac module under your glove box then the draconian module is connected to the ecu which is then connected to the speedometer on the instrument cluster.
How can you tell if your 1996 Mazda 626 has a transmission oil cooler theres 2 plastic fans in front of the radiatorand what appears to be a smaller radiator on the grill sidemaybe a tran cooler?
the smaller "radiator in the front of the other one" is actually part of your cars air conditioning system. if you are standing in front of your vehicle and are looking into the engine bay, on the passenger side of the radiator will be two metal fittings/tubbing that lead to rubber hoses near the bottom of the "two fans" then these hoses go into the transmission. if anywhere these hoses instead go into a ( say 6 inch by 9 inch "radiator looking contraption" that would be the cooler) if not. then the transmission lines are stock.

It is on the bottom of the radiator but sometimes hard to get to. If it is, take the lower hose off instead.
In a 93 Olds Silhouette what would cause there to be oil in the water but no water in the oil?
if this vehicle is automatic,the most likely cause would be the transmission fluid cooler. it is a tank inside the radiator that cools the transmission fluid. if by any reason the tank leaks it would contaminate your water/coolant/antifreeze. answer a cracked head will allow oil into water jacket in head, going from there thru to radiator if it was a bad head gasket, u would have water in oil instead

If the radiator is original, LEAVE DRAIN PETCOCK ALONE !! You may NOT be be able to close it completely due to rust. Disconnect lower radiator hose instead.
